I adore Tcl, and always have. Funny that you mention Lisp, because I've always considered Tcl a kind of "close cousin" of Lisp; both in it's code structure and the ability to build new control structures and the like. It feels more Lisp-y to me than it does C-y.
- sedatk 5y agoYou're absolutely right. But I have bad memories of dealing with parentheses in AutoLISP from the 90's. The trauma remains :)
- antod 5y agoMy only lisp experience was trying to teach myself AutoLISP in notepad in the mid 90s - I remember the parentheses trauma well. This was before I knew any CS or what a functional language was. I did come away impressed though with how it could map to CAD concepts. It reminded me of the RPN stack when programming my HP42 calculator. I could sense there was an underlying elegance I wasn't fully grasping.
